Lifeline

(album: Lifeline - 1976)

When the future looks so gray
Life's hopes all fade away
And vanish in the blue

When my big chance
Slips through my hands
Leaving me with washed up plans
And broken dreams are all that I dream too

It's like you throw out your lifeline
Before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again

You been the Heaven sent
A desperate man depends on
When nothing else could pull him through

Now there's been times
Of sink or swim
I watched the pictures grow and then
And every time you show
Right up on cue

It's like you throw out your lifeline
Before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again

Till my number comes up
It's gonna be thumbs up (thumbs up)
My ship's coming in
'Round the bend

Ooh oh (mm mm)
Ooh ooh (ah ah)
Yeah-eh (yeah-eh)

It's like you throw out your lifeline
Again...

I see the rainbow's end
Your vote of confidence can
Brighten up the darkest hue

You have changed my tears to laughter
Made what seemed like sure disaster
Just a passing phase
We all go through

It's like you throw out your lifeline
Before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again

Till my number comes up (woo hoo hoo)
It's gonna be thumbs up (thumbs up)
My ship's coming in
'Round the bend

It's like you throw out your lifeline
Before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again
